Ajman sewerage project on course
01 July 2004
One year into its contract, Black & Veatch has completed almost one quarter of the landmark Ajman sewerage project.
The £80 million ($146.5 million) new wastewater network, which will result in immense health and environmental benefits to this smallest of the UAE emirates, sees Black & Veatch Consulting and Black & Veatch Contracting combine its expertise for the project.
The scheme is on course to see a 49,000 cu m per day wastewater treatment plant at Al Jurf fully operational within the next 18 months as the work by Black & Veatch gears up to bring modern sanitation to more than 350,000 people in 45,000 properties.
In this first-ever private finance deal for wastewater services in the Middle East that takes responsibility for the retail risk – the collection of the tariff from property owners and occupiers – a total of 31 km of pipes have so far been installed for the proposed 230 km network. Meticulously designed to connect pipes with 22 pumping stations in the city, wastewater will be pumped to the new main treatment plant. Approximately 70 per cent of civil construction works at the plant and the two main pumping stations has also been completed.
